[Screening for iron deficiency and pneumococcal vaccination: What role do they play in community cardiology?]
1Cabinet de cardiologie, 72 avenue de France, 74000 Annecy, France.
Abstract:
This article presents a single-center, cross-sectional, descriptive epidemiological field study evaluating the screening for iron deficiency and pneumococcal prevention by community cardiologists in patients with heart failure. In total, 90% of the practitioners surveyed reported being familiar with the European Society of Cardiology's recommendations regarding iron deficiency screening, but only 60% perform it at least once a year. In contrast, 90% do not assess the patient's pneumococcal vaccination status. Nearly all respondents stated they are willing to collaborate with an advanced practice nurse.

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
